WASHINGTON (WUSA) - Beginning January 2013 the main toll plaza rate will increase from $1.50 to $1.75 and the ramps will go from 75 cents to $1.00, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Board of Directors said.

Airport authorities voted on the increase on Wednesday for the next two years but deferred a decision on toll rates for 2015, due to potential additional funding. The rates for 2014 are slated to be $2.50 for the main plaza.

Curto added that the decision came "after careful consideration of public input received at the three recently held toll rate hearings, the public comments received on-line and the recommendation of the Dulles Corridor Advisory Committee."
